What if Google tried to blackmail you into using Google+?
Google is trying harder than ever to force people to sign up for Google Plus. And now, they’ve discovered a new strategy
to do this: either you join Plus, or they’ll release your search history and all the private information they’ve learned
about you over the years. SEE BELOW THE Google Blackmail Commercial

The India-Pakistan partition in 1947 separated many friends and families overnight.

These speed tests were filmed at actual web page rendering times.
Equipment used:
– Computer: MacBook Pro laptop with Windows installed.
– Monitor – 24″ Asus: We had to replace the standard fluorescent backlight with very large tungsten fixtures to funnel in more light to capture the screen. In addition, we flipped the monitor 180 degrees to eliminate a shadow from the driver board and set the system preferences on the computer to rotate 180 degrees. No special software was used in this process.
– Camera: Phantom v640 High Speed Camera at 1920 x 1080, films up to 2700 fps.

See below some of this year pranks – no rickshaw stuff so far…
Google, which has a long history of April Fools trickery, has a link on its home page today that reads, “Introducing CADIE: a singular upgrade to your online life” that stands for Cognitive Autoheuristic Distributed-Intelligence Entity. It links here, to an announcement of the “world’s first ‘artificial intelligence’ tasked-array system.” CADIE has her own YouTube channel and blog.

Hello CADIE:

GMail also announced its “autopilot” function as part of the CADIE initiative. It will help you participate in many more Nigerian bank schemes and ruin all your personal relationships!
YouTube‘s new viewing experience is an interesting move in the world of online video. Everything will be upside down. According to Google’s research “modern computer monitors give a higher quality picture when flipped upside down-kind of like how it’s best to rotate your mattress every six months. You might find that YouTube videos look better this way.”
